Default So I hit a deer today....
Yep,my bike is semi-destroyed! I hit a deer coming home from New Bern (about 40 miles away). Deer jumped up in front of me out of no where and *POW*,deer blood and bike parts EVERYWHERE!!! What a mess!!! Deer was D.O.I. and my bike is in critical condition,we'll see... I've been thinking about doing some track days before I die so this might be an opportunity in disguise! Sorry about no pics but I didn't have a camera on me and they came and scooped up me,the bike and the deer. I guess I could take pics of the bike this weekend if I get a chance plus I could get you some pics of my blood soaked jeans and stuff. Oh well,I knew this bike was cursed from the start!

Has anybody heard any rumors about the 2009 GSXR1000 yet???

Glad to see you posting after the deer committing suicide into your bike Could have very easily been much worse.

What gear where you wearing?

Knee guards help? Rut starts here in a few weeks so I'll have to watch out even more.

Took it like a champ! This is my third time to this party so I was ready for it. I braced my arms and tore bambi a new one! It has GOT to be statistically impossible for one guy to have hit deer on a bike three fucking times! Man,Trip me and my bike look like we went to the prom at Carrie's high school! What a mess! The EMTs were like,"where are you bleeding,sir? We have to stop the bleeding!!!"

From what I understand,the suicidal deer had been depressed lately and had really slipped into a melancholy funk when she found her man Rudolph in the bushes with another doe enjoying some "reindeer games"... or so the locals tell me. They found a prescription for Paxil in her pocket and a note that read," Goodbye,Rudy I wish your bright fucking nose could have helped you find your way thru the fog of your feelings for me", signed Clarice.
